Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined how Hong Kong Cantonese and Taiwanese Southern Min, which were existing solely as spoken languages originally, grew to be written languages, using contemporary literary works as basic materials. In addition, we clarified the historical transition of the characteristics of written form from the nineteenth century to modern times based on literature other than literary works, and carried out research on phenomena related to the ‘writing’ using spoken languages.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義としては、研究課題名に含まれる「現代」にとどまらず、急速な書記言語化が進んだ時期に至る前の時期まで視野に入れ、時間幅のより長い通時的視点から分析と考察を行うことができた点が挙げられる。社会的意義としては、香港文学と台湾語文学を主題とした授業で、本研究で得られた知見を受講者と共有することで、大学教育への還元を行うことができた。また、事典の項目解説で早期の字体の特徴について言及し、研究成果を社会に還元することにも努めた。
